******* Hurricane Ian Update - The house was undamaged during the hurricane and is completely fine. Only the wooden dock / boat lift were damaged. They are currently unusable and boat storage is not possible. However this only affects guests who plan on bringing their own boat or renting a boat multiple days and storing it overnight. Otherwise the house is exactly as advertised prior to the storm and available as it was. ********
